As a church we have been blessed with many young children and the creche provides the opportunity for their parents to join in Sunday worship on a regular basis. The creche facility is provided by a group of women volunteers serving on a regular rota. This has grown from a small number of women caring for 3 or 4 children to our current position of 29 volunteers, with four on duty each week, caring for up to 20 children. In line with child protection legislation all volunteers are police checked and a weekly register is kept of the children attending. Child safety gates are put in place at both doors to the creche room, small items of food are discouraged as these may be a choking hazard, and attention is paid to the ratio of carers to children present.

If you wish to make use of the creche service, children may be brought to the Sunday School room during the singing of the second hymn (this is usually immediately after the children’s talk). As always we would be glad to hear from any women who would be interested in joining this particular ministry!

A verse to ponder…

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. — Romans 8:38-39
